Over advertising?

Shifty

O.G.
I've never understood car commercials. Do carmakers expect anybody to watch their ads and say: "That's a good idea! I'm going to the store tomorrow and buy a new car."

Probably not, but if a person is thinking of buying / shopping for a new car they are encouraged to visit. How many people worldwide are in that position?

I haven't had a drink in a year, so I can't say that sucks for you not to drink, but I can say I'm sorry for the reason. I hope that made sense.
 

That's great!

This is a real commercial from the Chicago area, during the 90's.


This is real too. Really!


This is not...but it could be.
 
When I'm drivin' in my car...and that man comes on the radio..and he's tellin' me more and more.. about some useless information.. supposed to fire my imagination..I can't get no..satisfaction

Marketers/advertisers are bent on imprinting their brand upon consumers. They work to convince you, sometimes subliminally to choose their product first when you have a need. They try to convince you that you have a need. They routinely bombard us in an attempt to make their product(s) and brand omnipresent and top of mind...

I wouldn't say that advertising works on me, but boy does it work on my husband. If a company can make a great commercial for their product, he's sold. Old Spice is the perfect example. There's also this ad he's seen all over the internet... the very next day we were out searching for this type of beer. Great ad/commercial = $$$ sale! $$$ :rolleyes:

As far as over advertising, I can't believe no one has mentioned Girls Gone Wild. After 2am you can't watch TV without seeing those commercials.

So your husband is to blame for this crap. :mad:;)
 
my favorite ads here in the u.s. are the ones recommending people ask their doctors about pharmaceuticals, especially the ones with the possible side effects of anal leakage, amnesia, and death
